Asking for Letters of Recommendation

I've divided topics related to asking for letters of recommendation into four categories:

Category 1: Who to Ask
1. Someone who can write positively
2. Someone with relevant experience for your application
3. Someone you know

Category 2: How and When to Ask
1. Contact the professor, by email or in person
2. Ask at the time you’re applying

Category 3: Providing Information
1. Make it easy for the recommender 
2. Watch email for additional requests 
3. Identify deadlines

Category 4: Follow Up Communications
1. Thank yous
2. Reminders
